Under the hood is a 4.4-liter V8 with 450 horsepower and 324 pound-feet of muscle. All that muscle goes to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and helps the BMW M3 GTS get to 60 mph in under 4.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 189 mph. BMW's Bavarian engineers managed to lighten the car's weight down to around 3,373 pounds, which should make the already crazy BMW M3 GTS even more devilish on track.
Speaking of tossing the BMW M3 GTS around on track, BMW has fitted the car with a bolted-in roll bar as well as factory mounting points for an additional cage. While the standard three-point belts are par for the course, the race-bred German comes with six-point belts for both front occupants as well. Stopping duties fall on hefty six-piston calipers squeezing on 14.9-inch rotors up front and four-piston blocks out back.
If you want it – and lets face it, we all want it – get ready to spend a heavy $170,000..
